We treat all lumps, bumps and cysts at The Dermatology Clinic. Lumps and bumps can be many different things such as lipomas, dermatofibromas, etc. We recommend bringing in all new lesions for evaluation and diagnosis. We perform biopsies and excisions in office to remove all growths. Cysts are common, benign sac-like growths, which may be filled with a semi-solid or liquid like material. These growths may remain the same size over time, however occasionally they can grow and get infected causing pain, redness and irritation at the site.

Initially, we inject the cyst with intralesional steroids in attempts to shrink it. At times the injection can eliminate the cyst entirely. If the cyst appears infected then a course of oral antibiotics will be prescribed. Definitive treatment for cysts is an excision, which we perform in office under local anesthesia. All excisions are sent to pathology to ensure benign nature of the cyst.
